I’ve blogged in the past about washing your hands after using the bathroom. However, there is another piece of bathroom etiquette that has been getting on my nerves as well: cell phones. Seriously, do you really need to be on the phone in the bathroom? Do you really think the person on the other end really wants to hear the noises that happen in there? Ew! There are so many reasons not to do this, yet so many versions of the bathroom phoner. I’ve personally gone into a public restroom and encountered the loud cell phone yeller, which, in my opinion, is worse than encountering them in a restaurant. There’s also the person talking on the phone that makes it seem like they’re talking to you, which is just plain uncomfortable. Not to mention this makes the phone horribly germy, even if you wash your hands. Honestly, if the call is that important, wait to use the restroom. If you get a call while you’re in there, call them back! Please, for the sake of the rest of our sanity!

I hate winter sometimes, especially when I see people like the ones I saw this morning on the road. Now, we had a big snowstorm here yesterday (see post below). Most people who live through winters in New England know that when it snows, your car gets covered. And when your car gets covered, you need to clean it off to drive safely. In fact, at least in Connecticut, it is the law. Now, I’ll admit, I’ll leave snow on top of my car if it’s just a dusting, maybe half an inch. But, we had over 6 inches yesterday. There is no excuse for people not to clear off their car. I don’t care how late you are, it is in everyone’s best interest that you clean your car. Imagine driving on the highway and having a huge chunk of snow come flying at you with no warning. I can understand if you have a large SUV or truck that you may not be able to get every speck of snow off the top, and that’s fine, as long as you get off what you can. However, it’s almost always the tiny little sedans I see that still have 6 inches of snow on top of the car. If the people with the SUVs can get their cars clean, I’m pretty sure you can clear off your tiny little sedan. Yet without fail, every storm brings these drivers. This morning alone, I saw at least one car with snow all over the top, one car with a full load of snow covering the back windshield, and one that was completely covered except for part of the front windshield. That is just plain dangerous. Please people, please, clean off your cars!
